As of January 1, 2015, and pursuant to state
law, the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC)
has ceased performing any law enforcement
functions, and its Forest Investigators have
been transferred to the
Alabama Law
Enforcement Agency (ALEA). The AFC is no
longer the agency responsible for
investigating forestry-related crimes
including arson, illegal burning, timber
theft, or logging equipment theft.

To reporting timber theft,
logging equipment theft, or other
forestry-related crime please contact ALEA
at (334) 242-0700 or (334) 242-4128, which
will subsequently be routed to the
appropriate law enforcement personnel for a
response.
